Water, Essential for Every Activity
Since 1963, Watera has been supplying state-of-the-art water treatment and water re-cycling systems and solutions that successfully meet its clients’ most demanding needs. Watera is also in a position to provide design services including the development of technical specifications. Watera serves clients across multiple sectors.
Manufacturing
Cement and cement product manufacturers need a large, steady supply of water to operate, so they often rely on desalinated seawater when freshwater is scarce. Watera has supplied cement companies with filtration and desalination plants, allowing them to use desalinated seawater efficiently and without disruption, 24 hours a day.
Water is a critical ingredient in chemical manufacturing; low conductivity, high purity water is of significant importance for the preparation of chemicals, detergents and cosmetics. In metal processing for industries like steel, copper and aluminum, low-conductivity and soft water is required for cooling in mills and smelters, casting in foundries, and demineralized water is essential in paint shops.
Key Applications:
- Cement manufacturing — filtration and seawater desalination
- Chemical processing — high-purity production and cooling water
- Metal processing — low-conductivity and soft water for cooling and casting
- Demineralized water for paint shops
Power Generation
Thermal-electric power plants dominate power generation by using a heat-driven power cycle in which extremely high purity water is converted to steam by the primary heat source, driving the turbine to produce electricity. This steam circulates continuously in a closed-circuit cycle and is cooled by water to condense it for recycling. Additionally, water cools the inlet air through fog systems.
Advanced technologies from Watera provide ultra-high purity water solutions for the power generation industry’s cooling and steam generation needs.
Key Applications:
- Ultra-high purity water for steam generation
- Condensate cooling and recycling
- Inlet-air fog cooling systems
Pharma & Cosmetics
Pharmaceutical and cosmetic products are highly sensitive and require exceptional conditions for their preparation. Using extremely pure water is a must in this industry.
Watera has supplied numerous water treatment systems that have allowed companies in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sector to rely on a steady supply of pure water that meets the very strict European and US Pharmacopoeia standards.
Key Applications:
- Purified water to European and US Pharmacopoeia standards
- Deionization and electrodeionization (EDI)
- Reverse osmosis pretreatment
Hospitality
Watera’s water filtration, softening, and reverse osmosis desalination technologies provide multiple benefits for hotels and resorts. By delivering high-quality drinking water to guests, these systems also extend the lifetime of kitchen equipment like boilers, steam ovens, and ice makers, as well as wellness amenities like steam baths, spas, and massage systems.
For remote resorts with limited freshwater access due to scarcity or high cost, Watera’s systems reliably and cost-effectively supply water on demand while satisfying both peak seasonal usage and ongoing needs. Their brackish and seawater reverse osmosis desalination systems, in particular, have proven especially well-suited for addressing the water requirements of resorts in water-scarce regions.
Key Applications:
- Drinking water for guests
- Protection of kitchen and wellness equipment
- Brackish and seawater desalination for remote resorts
Municipalities
Watera provides innovative solutions to municipalities and municipal water utilities. Through constant research and relying on the experience it has built over its long successful history, Watera has perfected original leading-edge technologies in the municipal sector that meet the strictest requirements for drinking water.
Hundreds of water supply authorities have selected Watera’s systems for their proven robustness, consistent quality and outstanding performance combined with optimal operating and running costs. The standardised design with easy expansion options results in significant savings in both capital and operating costs.
Key Applications:
- Municipal drinking water production
- Seawater and brackish water desalination
- Removal of salts, iron, manganese, arsenic, ammonia and turbidity
